Epigenetic Transgenerational Alterations to Stress Response in Brain Gene Networks and Behaviour

ABSTRACT: Ancestral environmental exposures that promote epigenetic transgenerational inheritance influence all aspects of an individual’s life history. Stress experienced during adolescence can affect adult physiological and behavioural phenotypes. The current study utilized a systems biology approach to investigate the interactions of these two forms of epigenetic modification, one carried in the germline transgenerationally and the other contained in the context of life history. A transgenerational epigenetic imprint left by the fungicide vinclozolin promoted regional specific brain gene networks that influenced chronic restraint stress responses to alter adult physiological, brain and behavioural phenotypes. The environmentally-induced epigenetic transgenerational inheritance was found to interact with early life stress response to impact the adult brain genome activity to bring “the phenotype into being”. We used microarrays to determine genes expressed differentially in rats' 4 brain areas - basolateral amygdala (BLA), primary and secondary motor cortex (Crtx), CA1 of the hippocampus (CA1), and CA3 of the hippocampus (CA3) - due to Vinclozolin treatments of their grand-grandmothers and/or to stress in adolescence age.

For each of 4 brain areas (BLA, CRTX, CA1, and CA3), RNA samples from 4 treatment groups - stressed control (St-Con), non-stressed control (NSt-Con), stressed vinclozolin (St-Vin), and non-stressed vinclozolin (NSt-Vin) - were compared to each other. Each treatment groups contained 3 biological replica. RNA for each replica was pooled from 4 individual animals forming a certain dyad group.

Polysomal and total RNA in controls and after 10 min global brain ischemia and 8 hours of reperfusion

Polysomal and total RNA in controls and after 10 min global brain ischemia and 8 hours of reperfusion

Project description:Complete global brain ischemia (CGBI) and reperfusion occur following resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Different brain neurons are selectively vulnerable to CGBI: pyramidal neurons of hippocampal CA3 survive 10 min CGBI but those of CA1 die at 3 days following 10 min CGBI. CA3 neurons are expected to have more robust stress responses and repair responses than CA1 neurons. We used microarrays to compared total and polysome-bound mRNAs in CA1 and CA3 at 8 hr reperfusion after 10 min CGBI in Long Evans male rats to ascertain differences in total vs polysome-bound gene expression. Male Long Evans rats were subjected to (1) sham operation (non-ischemic control, NIC) or normothermic CGBI of 10 min followed by 8 hr reperfusion (8R). Hippocampal CA1 and CA3 were dissected. n = 5 CA1 or CA3 were pooled to give a single replicate and there were 3 or 4 replicates per group. Post-mitochondrial supernatant (PMS) was prepared. Twenty percent of PMS was TRIzol extracted to give total RNA. The remainder was run on a 20% sucrose pad to isolate polysome pellets, which were also TRIzol extracted to give polysome RNA. Total and polysome RNA were then run on Affymetrix Rat Gene 2.0 microarrays.

mRNA-Seq of mouse Mettl3 cKO and Fto cKO hippocampus after fear conditioning

Project description:N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are abundant mRNA modifications that regulate transcript processing and translation. The role of both, here termed m6A/m, in the stress response in the adult brain in vivo are currently unknown. Here, we investigated the effect of gene deletion of Mettl3, a m6A methyltransferase, and Fto, a m6A and m6Am demethlyase, induced in adulthood in excitatory neurons of the CA1 and CA3 in the hippocampus (Nex-CreERT2 Mettl3 or Fto cKO) on the transcriptome of CA1 and CA3 as well as the transcriptomic response of the CA1 and CA3 transcriptome to fear conditioning.

Transgenerational epigenetic programming of the brain transcriptome and anxiety behavior

Project description:Embryonic exposure to the endocrine disruptor vinclozolin during gonadal sex determination promotes an epigenetic reprogramming of the male germ-line that is associated with transgenerational adult onset disease states. Further analysis of this transgenerational phenotype on the brain demonstrated reproducible changes in the brain transcriptome three generations (F3) removed from the exposure. The transgenerational alterations in the male and female brain transcriptomes were distinct. In the males, the expression of 92 genes in the hippocampus and 276 genes in the amygdala were transgenerationally altered. In the females, the expression of 1,301 genes in the hippocampus and 172 genes in the amygdala were transgenerationally altered. Analysis of specific gene sets demonstrated that several brain signaling pathways were influenced including those involved in axon guidance and long-term potentiation. An investigation of behavior demonstrated that the vinclozolin F3 generation males had a decrease in anxiety-like behavior, while the females had an increase in anxiety-like behavior. These observations demonstrate that an embryonic exposure to an environmental compound appears to promote a reprogramming of brain development that correlates with transgenerational sex-specific alterations in the brain transcriptomes and behavior. Observations are discussed in regards to environmental and transgenerational influences on the etiology of brain disease. Keywords: expression analysis, transgenerational changes due to vinclozolin

Transcription profiling by array of hippocampal regions CA1, CA3, and DG from aged, calorically restricted rats

Project description:Aging is associated with a decline in hippocampal mediated learning and memory, a process which can be ameliorated by dietary (caloric) restriction. We used Affymetrix gene expression analysis to monitor changes in three regions of the hippocampus (CA1, CA3, DG) of middle aged (18 months) and old (28 month) rats that were exposed to dietary restriction. Old rats were determined to be good performers (GP) or poor performers (PP) in behavioural tests to assess their hippocampal function. We used Affymetrix gene expression analysis to monitor changes in three regions of the hippocampus (CA1, CA3, DG) of middle aged (18 months) and old (28 month) rats that were exposed to dietary restriction.

Transcription profiling of rat hippocampal CA1 and CA3, cerebral cortex, and cerebellar granular layer brain regions

Project description:Study on selective vulnerability of certain brain regions to oxidative stress. Here we selected 4 brain regions (hippocampal CA1 and CA3, cerebral cortex, and cerebellar granular layer) to study this phenomenon. Experiment Overall Design: Neurons were collected from the 4 regions of the rat brain and subjected to Affymetrix RAE230A analysis, in order to identify genes related to the differential vulnerability of the neurons to oxidative stress.

ELAV proteomics after brain ischemia and reperfusion in the rat

Project description:We investigated mRNA regulatory proteins of the ELAV family following 10 min global brain ischemia and 8 hrs reperfusion (8R) or non-ischemic controls (NIC) in rat hippocampal CA1 and CA3. There were three main experiments: (1) Shot-gun proteomics of polysome pellets from NIC and 8R CA1 and CA3, (2) Shot-gun proteomics of ELAV immunoprecipitate eluents from NIC and 8R CA1 and CA3, and (3) Proteomics of ELAV antisera-reactive bands excised from nitrocellulose following ELAV Western blot.
